- Tariffs report
Your not realizing the previous Brasil president was conservative and more on par with USA president trump at that time. Right or wrong. Now you went left in your last election and expect trump to still treat you like a brother. Your president isn’t pro American and has become close to china. That doesn’t work with trump or those that elected him. AIM to be more moderate and the tariffs will respond in kind. We love Brasil but not your government at this time.

United States9 months ago - Nice to have Brazilian news in English
Not much is available in English about current events in Brazil. As someone with family in Brazil, I like to keep up and appreciate this source of Brazilian news.
Apple Podcasts5Bilas PelesUnited Statesa year ago Pretty good podcast with a typically leftist filter on Brazilian current events.
Podcast Addict4a year agopremitive1I've listened to this purchase for years as a casual listener. The quality of the podcast has seemed to diminish as they focus more on driving subscriptions. Several minutes of the most recent episode were drowned out by music louder than the person speaking.
Podcast Addict3a year agopremitive1- Brazil - Love it or leave it.
As a gringo of over 10 years I enjoy this podcast. Really enjoyed the 4 part Brazil - Love it or leave it series. Would like to hear more on Brazil’s global political history and relationships with other nations. Always great to have politics in English even if I don’t agree with all the outlooks and views.
